With lots of holiday shopping and festive parties coming up, I thought I’d share a fun little idea of taking a staple piece and showing how it can work as you conquer the mall during the day and toast with your friends at night.

Enter in, this awesomesauce (I make up words, deal with it), houndstooth jacket!

Enjoy the upcoming holidays in style my lovely friends! And don’t forget, the best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear; that never goes out of style! ;). (Yes, that was an Elf reference and yes, I’ve already watched it once this season!!)

Phew, excuse the delay on highlighting the awesome weekend I had, it took me a couple days to recover! It wasn’t the typical Thanksgiving weekend, but i wouldn’t have traded it for anything. Here’s how it went down…

The hubs and I served the free community dinner on Thanksgiving.

Nom! Nom! Nom!

Soon after our house was filled with my sisters, brother-in-laws and BIL’s sister and hubby from Lincoln. Hawkeye-Husker game weekend assemble!!!! (Stupid iPhone alien eyes!!)

Go Hawks! Brrr, a blistering 34 with high winds!! I hate to say it, but I’m glad the season is over!

After sending our guests back to their cozy homes it was time to assemble for my BFF’s baby shower! I showcase to you, the lovely Mamma-to-Bee!

Hostesses!

I couldn’t get a picture fast enough, our food was a hit!

Such a cute theme and the shower was great. I can’t wait to help welcome Baby C into this crazy world. For the record, my vote is a sweet little baby girl. 🙂

On this Thanksgiving Eve, I wanted to share some more of my Thankful List from last year (Here, Here, Here, Here and Here) and to share the delicious spread from our annual Friendsgiving Feast! We had awesome food, great company and endless laughs. The dinner talk quickly matched the dishes at the end of the evening…dirty. Oh boy, I am blessed with some great, and silly, friends! 😉

If you haven’t seen or heard of the bubble necklace, I hate to tell you, but your a little behind in the fashion scene. This necklace was made famous at J.Crew over the summer. I held out and was glad I did! I found one in a vibrant fall blue at my favorite local boutique. A win-win!
